Game inspired by post-punk's classic track
- 'Hooky Buys a Bass' - Hooky’s bass sound is without doubt one of the defining sounds of Manchester. Totally unique and inimitable.

A new video game has been made, inspired by the classic Joy Division single 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. See a trailer for the game below.
European developer Mighty Box Games have revealed that 'Will Love Tear Us Apart?' is a "free-to-play browser-game about relationships on the brink of breaking up."
Not only that, but judging by the game's trailer, it heavily draws upon the gloom-ridden imagery of the band.
A statement on Mighty Box's website says: "It follows the song in delivering a dark and frustrating perspective on love. Each verse in the song is represented by a level in the game.
"WLTUA encourages players to reflect on the darker side of love: mis-communication, emotional impasse and the sadness of separation. Solace may be found in the brief moment of lightness that comes over us when we come to terms with the reality of an irreconcilable relationship."
